Ask Lemmy

Earth.

Like, the whole fucking thing more or less.

Might take me the rest of my life and I still won't see it all, but if money is no object...

Amtrak does the train equivalent of a cruise liner, where you spend about half a month on a sleeper car travelling all over America. It's cheaper than an actual cruise line, and more importantly I think trains are cool.

Edit: forgot about the unlimited money. I guess I would pay to replace all the rails in north america first so I have a smooth ride the whole time.

Money and time no object? I would do a tour of the Pacific islands on a 110 Wally sailboat complete with crew so I get to do the fun stuff like helming and none of the boring stuff I don't feel like doing that day. Would hit at a minimum Galapagos, Tahiti, Fiji, New Caledonia and on down to the Sundays in Australia. Would take about 6 months although I could spend a lifetime there.

If I was time limited to two weeks? Sailing in the Bahamas in a Outreamer cat, these are as large as I can safely handle with my partner and its a lot lot shallower than the Wally so I get to explore far more of the Bahamas. Shorter holidays I want less flight time, so direct like this is perfect.

Money is no object?

Alpha Centauri. Build a spacious and comfortable Orion Drive ship for me and a few thousand of my best friends to go on a nice long trip.

I would love to visit New Zealand. I'm a canuk and I hear they are like a better weather version of my country...I've also never met a kiwi that wasn't a stand up person.

A tour through the Nordic countries.

I've only ever seen Sweden from the highway from Malmö to Stockholm to get to a boat to Estonia in time, and only saw bits of the harbor in Helsinki during that trip. I'd love to take more time to explore Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.

The Moon.

Failing that, Low Earth Orbit.

Switzerland. Having grown up in the coastal plains, I just have this fascination with mountains. I don't t have the physical condition to climb one, but just seeing them up close already makes me feel things. Being on top of one, even more so.

Maybe I can do even better and do a train journey from France, and then Switzerland, then across Austria, all the way to Hungary and Romania, making sure that I cross as many mountains as I possibly can.

Vienna. The opera season this year couldn't be better, I'd stay the year and go every night.

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Tokyo. Splurge in Akihabara and eat some authentic ramen.

My son asked me this yesterday. Japan.

Fiji seems pretty cool

Antarctica. It's possible, there are regular tours to the South Pole. In reality I can't afford €60k+ for such a tour, but if money is no object I'd go

Probably Amsterdam or Copenhagen for a few weeks,

properly experience a walkable city with good transit and cycling infrastructure

There's a place out in Washington State called Dirtfish. They call it a "rally school". For a bunch of money they'll give you a kickass Subaru and let you tear around a dirt track for a few days. Looks awesome.

I handle this, as do most poor people, by not asking ourselves this question, not even fantasizing about it, for why torture yourself with something you never can do?

Malta I have been wanting to see the hypogeum for a while.

New Zeeland. But not by plane - by ship! I hate flying, but half around the globe on a small luxury cruise ship or yacht would be nice.

The fuckin moon, and it's not even close. Get me off this rock

If pollution were not an issue, I would visit my sister in New Zealand. I live in the Netherlands.

It's not where, if money was no object, I would be on holiday semi-permanent.

Maybe build a submarine and visit the Titanic ;)

I'd like to see Japan deeply. I'd go all the way across the country and make sure to stay at rural spots along the way to enjoy the stillness between cities.

My gaming PC, my backlog is epic

Monte Carlo, during the F1 championchip race, at that one Hotel there with the best view.

Italian wine tour for a couple of months

Rowing in sweden. Go there by bike.

Lancaster Pennsylvania, lots of folk punk stuff going on over there and LNL is throwing another folk punk flea market in late June.

If money really was no object, I’d build the first lunar inn and live there permanently.

“Oooh TeamAssimilation, that’s the Apollo Lander, it’s a valuable relic, please stop licking it!”

Finding the time is more of an obstacle, but definitely New Zealand or Australia! Love flying but just thinking about the flight time is making my butt hurt haha

New Zealand
